DURO

The DURO is a modular platform concept for a family of 4x4 and 6x6 vehicles. It is a well-protected (in the armored version), highly-mobile, off-road tactical transport vehicle based on the proven De-Dion axle, one that was specially developed for military applications. The DURO was deployed in Afghanistan and is a highly mobile and versatile platform for all kinds of application.

The DURO family provides payload capacities from 3.5 tons to 6.5 tons and offers a large load capacity with the different function modules. These include NBC, Reconnaissance, Ambulance and Armored Personnel Carrier. Depending on the mission role, 4x4 and 6x6 versions are available in a chassis/cab configuration only, or with the function module. The cabin is available in armored or non-armored configurations.

Vehicle ConceptThe DURO and EAGLE family of vehicles use the same chassis and drive train components. They are multi-purpose vehicles, with a chassis/cab in 4x4 and 6x6 versions, and offer a variety of interchangeable function modules. Unmatched in their payload/gross vehicle weight ratio, they are in service with various armed forces.

Survivability (Protected version only)DURO has validated ballistic, mine protection and Improvised Explosive Device (IED) protection. This includes mine-protected seats and all the engineering expertise of a company focused on armored vehicles.

MobilityMobility is enhanced and unmatched thanks to the unique De-Dion suspension with its large axle articulation and high wheel travel; the roll stabilizer system which allows axle twisting and restricts body rolling, Self-locking TORSEN differentials; High torque CUMMINS diesel engine with Allison automatic transmission, and, finally, safe on-road handling with exceptional performance.
